Ten pounds of lovely ADM aluminum perched upon an Atlas:
D Series Dual Saddle
Vixen Side-By-Side Mounting System
D Series Male to V Series Male dovetail bar
Max Guider MAX-F
(The 7/8" thick puck, from an old TSS saddle, provides more clutch knob clearance than the 3/16" ADM unit.)

Pentax MS-3n mount w/ integrated 12V RA drive and tangent style slow motion controls for RA and DEC. Pentax rated this mount at +/- 10 arc seconds periodic error. Really nice built in illuminated polar scope under the caps. I've done 1 min. exposures at 800mm and gotten perfect tracking. This is an older picture of it that shows clamshell for a Pentax 75mm SDHF which I sold. I made a 12" pier extension for it since the tripod is quite short and fitted a Vixen style dovetail clamp to it. I use this mount with a Vixen FL80S and ED102S pretty often.

Takahashi EM-10 supporting a Goto 125 ED.
Note the Goto is really beyond the recommended weight capacity of the EM-10, but the mount really does the job visually. Shown with 19 lbs. of counterweight. Tube assembly is 21 lbs. not counting the mounting plate and rings.

This is my grab-n-go mount. It's an AstroTech Voyager. However I thought the default AstroTech Voyager was too short, so I replaced the aluminum tripod it came with an Oberwerk wooden tripod. Great height range now for my C6, and LS60T Ha solar scope, regardless of standing or sitting down, and it still fits in the trunk of my car.

This is my EQ1 mount that I bought 5 years ago for £65 (including a 4.5 inch f/8 reflector, eyepieces and a tripod). It is considered a "toy" but I have added an Orion EQ-1M motor and have modified the handset to support ASCOM autoguiding. A modified ToUCam Pro webcam and a 9x50 finder provide the guiding image. The idea is to make a poor man's Astrotrac, capable of 10 minute exposures at 8 arcseconds per pixel with a DSLR and transportable in a rucksack.
You'll never know how good these can be until you try them!

You need a bigger mount, Dave. That's a terrific setup.
